2025 — Even In Arcadia

Number one in both the UK and the US, two Grammy nominations, and a Download Festival headline set in June. The rig is unusually well documented for an anonymous musician because MixWave released a sampled library of it in 2025. Note the ride: an Idris Muhammad signature — a dry, dark jazz cymbal named for a New Orleans soul drummer, on the kit of metal's most-awarded player.

The 2025 kit at a glance. Tap a piece to find it below; sticks, pedals and hardware aren't drawn.
